In the 21^st century, population growth affects food demand, especially rice. Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae causes bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease, the worldwide rice production problem. As pathogen pathotypes vary, research into disease control advances...

Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith (Spodoptera: Noctuidae) is an invasive pests of maize that has been reported around the world. Control efforts using biological agents continue to be developed, including the use of entomopathogen bacteria such as Bacillus thuringiensis. To...

Predator diversity decreases because of low ecosystem quality in modern agriculture that applies monoculture systems. However, polyculture systems in paddy fields can improve biodiversity, including pests, natural enemies, and microorganisms. Surjan is a local polyculture farming...

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a promising technology for controlling viral diseases, including pepper yellow leaf curl disease (PYLCD) of chili pepper caused by Begomovirus infection. The objectives of this research were to investigate the effectiveness of PGPR...

This research aimed to study the efficacy of the fungus Purpureocillium lilacinum as a bionematicide to control root-knot nematodes (RKN). Two steps of experiments were carried out in this study. The first experiment involved the application of various levels of bionematicide doses to...

Purple blotch, caused by Alternaria porri, affects leaves and tubers, leading to reduced yields. Traditionally, synthetic chemical fungicides were heavily relied upon for control. As an alternative, biocontrol agents like actinomycetes have gained attention. Some actinomycetes can...

The research aimed to determine the effect of single and combined applications of Bio P60 and Bio T10 in suppressing stem base rot and its effect on the growth and production of hydroponic melon. This research was conducted at Flos Hydroponic Organic at Bansari Village, Bansari District,...

Plutella xylostella Linnaeus (Lepidoptera: Plutellidaae) is an important pest on Brassicaceae plants, especially cabbage. The combination of entomopathogenic fungi and botanical pesticides has been widely developed to increase effectiveness effectiveness against P. xylostella...

This study explored the effectiveness of ethanol and methanol as attractants for controlling the coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei Ferr 1867, a significant pest in global coffee plantations. The research aimed to assess the efficiency of these substances as attractant...

The aim of the research was to determine the effect of applying a consortium of Trichoderma spp. isolates to a type of organic fertilizer that is effective in controlling twisted disease and on the growth and yield of shallot plants. The study utilized a completely randomized design...

Nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) is a type of biological agent that can be effectively used as a bioinsecticide to control the cob borer caterpillar in corn. Among these viruses, HearNPV (Helicoverpa armigera Nucleopolyhedrovirus) stands out due to its host specificity,...

Taro, otherwise known as cocoyam, is one of the major sources of calories in the tropics. However, losses of its corm during storage are high, partly due to pathogenic diseases. Fusarium oxysporum is one of the principal fungal pathogens causing about 50% of postharvest losses of taro...

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a pathogenic bacterium that induces bacterial leaf blight in rice. This disease is challenging to treat due to the presence of multiple pathotypes that can harm the plants. Characterizing and determining the distribution of pathotypes...

Shallots are integral to Indonesian daily life, with annual production reaching two million tons. However, the superior varieties are often susceptible to disease, highlighting the need for new resistant varieties. Understanding the genetic basis of disease resistance is crucial for breeding...
